Learning Process

The endeavor is on practice as well as theory such that students will gain practical knowledge and experience in solving Industy relevant problems.
Based on the needs of each subject/capsule, appropriate pedagogy-mix is used, consisting of:

  • Classroom lectures/training
  • Case studies and Industry reports and analysis
  • Lab assignments
  • Field assignments and projects
  • Theme-paper writing and case material preparation
  • IT packages, to gain hands-on exposure

Individual communication, inter-personal skills and such soft-skills are developed through workshops by industry-experts.

Eligibility

Graduates in Engineering (Electronics, Computers, Electrical, Instrumentation) Or M.Sc Electronics or MCS. Working Professionals, with graduate engineering degrees will be given preference.
